## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-19

Search and Today now sit in a floating bar at the bottom of the calendar, right where your thumb is. And the Dynamic Island can show the note you wrote today.

• Bottom action bar: a Today button that follows the date, plus a search capsule that opens full-text search across your calendar and journal.
• Dynamic Island options: choose Quick Input or Show Today's Note, and your entry appears on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
• Adaptive line spacing: spacing follows your font size, so long entries read better in the editor and in all three share templates.
• One-tap search: the whole capsule is tappable and the keyboard is ready the moment search opens.
• Calendar and membership polish: smoother continuous month scrolling with a more accurate starting position, plus a redesigned membership page with a clearer comparison of benefits.
• Fixes: long entries are no longer clipped at the right edge, years no longer show a thousands separator (2,026), and the weekday headers in the year view render correctly. Settings › About now links to the official website, and year titles follow your chosen language.
